Hello,

I am trying out the demo of Photoshop Elements 4.0 (long story why not
5.0). I would like to be able to save an edited image as a high-
resolution bitmap (600-1200dpi). Photoshop Elements 4.0 has an option to save as a bitmap, but does not allow you to choose the DPI.

Does Elements 5.0 or the Pro version of Photoshop allow you to do this?

perhaps the reason is because the program you’re using is just a demo? Some demos have limitations.

So? DPI is nothing more than a scale factor.

DPI or more properly PPI, (pixel density) is meaningless. I could save a 100 x 100 pixel image with a print resolution of 1000 ppi and have an image that printed at one tenth of an inch square, not exactly high quality! The important thing is the number of pixels in the image. The pixel dimensions, L x B.
